Rio went bust twice, were eventually bought by Denon, and now the brand is being ended
Warranties will be honoured, but I still wouldn't buy one myself.

Or not. Because I presume you want the unit to actually still be working next christmas?
Creative or iRiver.

I bought my iPod in Tokyo just over two years ago and it's still going strong.
And it works with Windows or Mac iTunes without any hiccups what so ever.

And a Creative or iRiver works with the OS DIRECTLY rather than using some wanky crap media player that encourages using encumbered audio formats.
Doesn't matter if its a Windows machine, Apple box, or something rarer, an iRiver or Creative is going to work.

I have a Rio and they are bloody superb IMHO.
2.5 GB and well worth the £80.
Go for it man

I got myself an i river pmp 120 on ebay for £150 and it is amazing. it has its own conversion software that converted neary 2 gig of home video ( and no it is not that type of home video ) in about 25 minutes which is really fast in my book.

Spent ages looking into Rio vs ipod.
Was about to get a rio carbon when i was informed there was a slight static problem and i should place a piece of sellotape over the headphone jack!
Decided ipod would be best and not been let down yet.
